Last week, multiple
industry groups representing Internet service providers filed a petition asking
the FCC to stay the unnecessary privacy regulations. The petition also discussed
how ISPs are taking steps to protect customers’ privacy online. The
groups, which include CTIA, NCTA, USTelecom, as well as various advertising and
advocacy groups, state that the FTC's framework has protected Internet users for
years while the FCC’s new rules create an inconsistent and confusing framework
that weakens data protection online.
